Psalms 69 << || >>

	69:1	To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to soul.
	69:2	I sink in deep mire, where no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
	69:3	I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
	69:4	They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored which I took not away.
	69:5	O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
	69:6	Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
	69:7	Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
	69:8	I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children.
	69:9	For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.
	69:10	When I wept, my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
	69:11	I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
	69:12	They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I the song of the drunkards.
	69:13	But as for me, my prayer to thee, O LORD, an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
	69:14	Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
	69:15	Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
	69:16	Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
	69:17	And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
	69:18	Draw nigh to my soul, redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
	69:19	Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries all before thee.
	69:20	Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked to take pity, but none; and for comforters, but I found none.
	69:21	They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
	69:22	Let their table become a snare before them: and for welfare, a trap.
	69:23	Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
	69:24	Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
	69:25	Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
	69:26	For they persecute whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
	69:27	Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
	69:28	Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
	69:29	But I poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
	69:30	I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
	69:31	also shall please the LORD better than an ox bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
	69:32	The humble shall see , be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
	69:33	For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
	69:34	Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
	69:35	For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
	69:36	The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
